Lost OS X Tiger disc (MacBook)

What do you need them for? If you just need to reinstall the OS boot your iMac like a reinstall. Put your MB in target mode and plug it into the iMac. Install onto your MB drive.

That's not going to work, FL_MacTech. The iMac is running a PowerPC version of OS X. The MacBook Pro requires the Intel version of OS X it came with.

Mike,

You can use the coupons that came with your Mac to get new disks. For one coupon and (I believe) $20 + shipping, Apple will send you a new set of disks that are specifically for your Mac. Call Apple customer service to find exactly how it works.

Unfortunately that won't work because the iMac is a PPC Mac and cannot be used to install OS X on an Intel Mac.

Refer to this discussion, and follow what _a Brody_ suggest in his first post. AppleCare is there to help with all sorts of problems.

Sorry didn't notice he had a G5 iMac. I was thinking in terms of my own setup. I switched to all Intel.
